Mid-Atlantic Construction's Best of 2004 Awards

Projects from Philadelphia to southern Virginia were put to the test by our independent jury of industry experts to determine who would be named Mid-Atlantic Construction's Best of 2004. Read on to learn more about the 22 projects that our jury honored as the region's finest examples of design, construction and teamwork.

If there are any doubts about the strength of the mid-Atlantic construction market, our Best of 2004 award winners should allay those concerns. Mid-Atlantic Construction's inaugural awards program drew dozens of entries from around the region and the results were impressive. The pool of submissions represented everything from stunning museums and challenging restorations to significant transit projects and highly technical institutions.

Our seven-person jury had no lack of intriguing designs and sizeable construction jobs to consider. But when it came to handing out awards, our jury focused special attention on the quality of teamwork that brought these projects to completion.

After hours of discussion and debate, our jury of industry experts agreed to recognize a total of 22 projects in 15 different categories, including one overall Project of the Year - the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Measurement Laboratory in Gaithersburg, Md. The NIST project represents an impressive balance of innovative design, complex systems, and creative problem-solving by the team members.

Our discerning jury wasn't quick to dole out awards. Only seven submissions received Project of the Year honors in their respective categories and some categories, such as Interior Fit-Out, did not produce any winners. In honoring these select projects, our jury and Mid-Atlantic Construction are recognizing only the best that the region has to offer.

With optimism in the air for an improved construction market in 2005, Mid-Atlantic Construction's Best of 2004 award winners show that the industry has a lot to be hopeful about heading into the new year.
